Not all naturally textured hair is created equally. Geneva Cowen, Artistic Director for Sam Villa says that 25% of her guests have naturally curly hair.

"Very naturally curly hair is represented in every ethnic group. I have natural redheads, blondes, and ethnic guests with similar curl and all different textures and needs," she explains.

Cowen advises to access each guest's curl pattern carefully to best treat the texture. In the naturally curly hair category, every guest is unique in his or her needs.

Naturally curly hair can also have different curl patterns throughout the head and the strand, so take extra time to assess the curl pattern before cutting. For guests with drastic inconsistencies, consider spot treating the shape to expand or decrease problem areas.

Perfect Curl Styling Tips:

● Use fingers to lift hair off the scalp with head tilted back to promote natural curl to lay off the scalp

● Use a microfiber towel or T-shirt to take excess water out of hair and keep cuticle compact. Remember that a regular towel has nubs that promote frizz
